Obama's Hug-A-Thug-A-Thon

After the thoroughly embarrassing display at the U.N. this week I held out a glimmer of HOPE for our glorious leader. A joint news conference with a diminutive Frenchman and an Englishman who perpetually looks like a hard-beaten dog could only mean our American president would look strong and sound capable amongst them. After all, he’s ivy-league, younger, taller, blacker and much better looking. How could he do anything but shine?

I watched. I listened. I had HOPE dashed yet again. Barry! How could you do this to me? The two Europeans (sorry Gordo but your EU membership card says you are) stood up to the microphone and made such statements as the one Sarkozy sternly spoke, “Everything, everything must be put on the table now. We cannot let the Iranian leaders gain time while the motors are running.” In an odd way I felt Frenchie was talking to Big 0 as much as he was Ahmadinejad.

Even Gordon Brown, with his head hung low as always, made the bold pronouncement that …“the International Community has no choice today but to draw a line in the sand.” He even called a spade a spade when he characterized Iran as committing “serial deception”. You go Gordo!

When juxtaposed to the European sentiments, Barack Obama came off like some naïve soccer mom justifying the reality that her progeny is in fact a schoolyard bully. “The Iranian government must now demonstrate through deed its peaceful intentions or be held accountable to international standards and international law.” Are you kidding me? First off, he’s assuming Iran HAS peaceful intentions. Wake up Mr. 0, they don’t. Second, what about Iran being held accountable to U.S. standards? When will you, Mr. Obama, realize you speak not for the world but for the citizens of the United States. Quit trying to pass the buck and hide behind “international standards”. That is weak and muddled!

Obama states profoundly that “Iran is breaking rules that all nations must follow.” Ya think so? Man, don’t go so far out on that limb next time, Barry. Dems fightin’ words! Mr. Master of the Obvious continues by revealing to us dummies that “the size and configuration of this facility is inconsistent with a peaceful program.” Say it ain’t so! But your chat-mate, Mahmoud swore it was all just for the sake of clean energy. Maybe Iran doesn’t realize they are creating dangerous nuclear material? They probably just got the instructions messed up. I know once the Obammy rubs elbows with Mahammy all will be good. Besides, Ghadafi is O’s real father, he said so for all the world to hear (I knew that birth certificate was a fake). Mahmoud wouldn’t dare play rough with Ghadafi, Jr. He’ll shut down those centrifuges lickety split.

With the conclusion of the presser I turned the television off. What is going on when an American President looks like a deer in the headlights while European Union Boys come off like Tony Soprano and Vito Corleone? I feel ill.

And since when does an American President back an ousted socialist dictator like Honduras’ Zelaya by placing sanctions on the Honduran people? Obama is no ditz brain. He knew the score of who was whom yet he ordered our State Department to do all it could to thwart the coup in Honduras even though respected leaders in that country, such as retired Honduran General, Daniel Lopez Carballo said, “if the military hadn’t acted, Mr. Chavez would eventually be running Honduras by proxy.” Yes, Chavez. The one who now smells HOPE around the podium of the U.N. Chavez, the crazy little tyrannical cretin who puts his own face on television for hours, talking and talking and talking. Hmmm, sound familiar? I bet school children even sing songs about him, wanna bet?

Why on earth would an American president be chummy with the likes of an oppressor such as Chavez, protecting a despot like Zelaya through meddling in the internal struggles of a sovereign country though claiming not to dare “meddle” when it came to boldly speaking out against the Iranian regime during the first of the Iranian peoples’ revolts.

In his own country, in the American capital, President Obama chose to leave, ignore, dismiss protests on 9/12 when throngs marched against his policies. Something tells me he is jealous he can’t snap his fingers and clamp down on “the un-Americans” like his buds in other dictatorships can. All I know is that Obama has decided the people who oppose him don’t amount to much except maybe the biggest protest on Washington in the history of our country. Who’s counting stuff like that, anyway? Certainly not any self-respecting dictator.

Then, I am beyond dismay when Obama employed the time-tested strategy of bimbos who give “it” up for nothing when he shut down the missile defense projects in the Czech Republic and Poland. Regardless of whether the defense program would work, the fact it was a possibility drove the Russians ape shit. The very least Obama could have done was have some self-respect and utilize the program as a bargaining tool to further American interests. But instead, Obama got drunk at the frat party and let the Russians do what they will. A smidge of smarts and a little dignity next time would be nice, Mr. President! And so, we’re left like every other used bimbo, waiting to see if the jerk will call. Ring, damit, ring!

But at least we all know Obama is Miss Popular around Big Daddy Ghadafi, Hugo “the Nose” Chavez, and Ahmadinejad Oh-Yes-she-did-a-jad. Barack ObamaBarack Obama, you are the president of the United States. You are president of a REPUBLIC. Your goals include spreading democracy not appeasing socialist dictators. It bothers me that your eyes sparkle around these punks. You appear to have a crush on the crushers. You apologize to these parasites and ask all Americans to join you in this Hug-a-Thug-a-Thon. I respectfully decline. I ask that you lay out for us your plan, the method to your madness. Maybe I’m as dumb as you think. Maybe your way is the best way but you have not been clear and honest about the facts. Platitudes and lovely sentiments of HOPE and CHANGE don’t replace valid actions. I don’t see the logic and continually go back to that old hackneyed phrase, “it’s the company you keep”. You give more attention to the rambling nonsense of egomaniacs than you do the sincere concerns of your citizenry. Why is that?

You’ve hinted that you want our government to take care of the inequalities of life yet in the countries where the government does control “inequality”, I can’t say it’s going all that swimmingly for the folks. The leaders, they’re livin’ large but the people exist at the mercy of madmen. Admittedly, Chavez probably is on television more than you are so I can see why you might think the grass is greener in Venezuela but I have to tell you, that’s quite a few tea parties down the road for you, my dear.

Some may say I’m not giving you a chance. I must be racist. That I surely am a right-wing extremist. I answer, wrong, wrong, maybe wrong. Obviously I don’t like your policies and I don’t want to see them implemented mainly because I’ve had the chance to experience socialist systems first hand. I would not want to ever live in that sort of society. I do question you and call you out not because I am white and you are half white, half black. I could care less. If you were only half the man Governor Douglas Wilder is, I would have voted for you. I’ve voted for him on several occasions when he ran for Governor and in his bid to be Mayor of Richmond. I was pleased with his leadership each and every time. He is black. You are black. I like him and his way of governing. I don’t know you to say I don’t like you personally but I do not support your ideology, plain and simple. When horrid creatures such as Ghadafi, Chavez, Ahmadinejad and Putin speak highly of you while our trusted allies grumble and mutter and turn a shoulder, I have to repeat, it’s the company you keep, Obama, it’s the company you keep.
